Anything would help, really, for I do not want to try a full schedule on Party today...

You should reinstall the client from our home page but make sure to save any notes you might have before you do it.

NL games are sometimes instantly full when a fish sits, this happens before a hand is even dealt. No way 5 regs have the table open and all ninja click a seat before a hand is even dealt, especially when this happens all the time. It's very obvious but also very hard to police

many players are doing that, there is no other way to get to play on many tables with fish on it. so if many players do the same it is clear that the table fills instantly.

there might be some, but why do you need a script if it is not faster? if you dont have the tables open there is no way that the scipt is faster, because if you see the fish in the lobby it is to late. and if you have to open 6 tables for the script to find fishes you cannot play because you only are allowed 6 tables...

Yeah looks like it

I would say that 2/4- 5/10 around 25 % regs use it... But these are mostly bad, nitty, breakeven, frustrated regs who play on a 0.5/1 level...

Simple solution = don't allow people to observe tables for over one minute or even at all.

I'd like to avoid any unnecessary currency conversion fees so have I understood this correctly?

My Visa is in €. If I change my 888 account currency to $ and I deposit with Visa, the conversion is done with my banks rate?

Also Paypal is an option. Are there any hidden fees?

Thanks!

However, since you knew about it, why would you be sitting at 6 tables while on the waiting list for a good table knowing that you won't be able to take the seat when it comes open? Don't be so greedy, and keep a slot open for that table.

does this actually work?

if you only have 5 tables open will you really never get hit with the waiting list bug?

any chance you could start allowing chops at the end of sngs?

would be nice to just be able to chop like on full tilt when you get heads up with a solid reg....... and its also great for your site as will allow us to start playing a new game sooner

He means only play 5 so you don't have to leave a good table to join a table where you can't sit down. You have a spare slot for a new table.

any chance to get an auto rebuy and auto add on?

Also a way to double rebuy without timing it the split second before the chips leave?

As far as the seating script itself I wonder if it even costs 888 anything by allowing it? It sucks for regs because everybody has to give money to a third party to stay on an even playing field but I'm not sure it hurts 888. Although in my case I don't make enough to justify paying the monthly fee so I might have to just quit, but does it hurt 888 to lose regs like me? They definitely should do something about regs sitting out the second the fish sits out, especially if the script does it for them. That behavior is definitely bad for 888's bottom line.

While your playing at a table click on TABLE OPTIONS then unclick AUTO MUCK HANDS and this will give you the option of showing or not.

to think that a seater would auto sit out when a fish sits out would be to not understand how a seater works

Maybe not the seater but I'm pretty sure some have scripts to sit them out when the fish sits out.

thats not really a solution, you can end up only playing 5 for an hour waiting and then when the seat comes open its only because the fish busted

888 could just figure out how to seat us properly as crazy as that sounds
